BPM Minerals (ASX:BPM) announces that drilling has started at its Santy Gold Project, located in Western Australia’s Murchison Region some 430km north of Perth.
The program is expected to take 3 weeks to complete with holes to be completed at both gold and base-metal targets.
Drilling at the Santy Project has defined a very coherent gold anomaly at the Santy prospect.

The company reports that the Santy Prospect gold anomaly is characterised as a 2.2km-long 25ppb gold anomalous trend contained within a prominent north-northeast trending shear zone.
The Santy Project comprises 2 granted exploration licences and 2 applications totalling 663km-square which remains largely underexplored, with 80% of granted tenure under transported cover.
The project lies within the Tallering Greenstone Belt, considered prospective for mesothermal gold and VMS base-metal mineralisation.
Deposits within the Tallering Belt include ‘high-grade’ deposits and historical production from the Mixy deposit (65,000 Oz Au @ 4.3g/t Au), A-Zone: 63,000 Oz Au @ 2.1g/t Au and Royal Standard Mine (68,000t @ 13.1g/t Au).
BPM Minerals is a Perth-based gold, nickel, and base-metal explorer with a portfolio of projects located across some of Western Australia’s most prolific greenstone belts and base-metal basins.
The company is building its landholdings within tier-one mining locations, close to existing deposits and world-class infrastructure.
